Remember lining up dominoes and then knocking over the first one and the rest of the line followed? This video shows an amazing set up of 15,000 dominoes, which took 8 days to build. Too much time on her hands, I'm guessing. But it's pretty cool to watch.
I wonder if this high-tech bedside alarm system wakes you up as gently as the company claims? There is a video explaining the thing a little bit down the page.
Kerrville peeps: here's the information on the event that has many downtown streets closed today. It's a cool event, and this page includes maps and times for your convenience.
